I think this is my next project...

[lawrench]

I have been waiting for the Putco harness for the tail light bar, and I finally found it. So I am thinking that I will do this for my next project.

I am still debating a few options but thinking about using the Amber for the turn signals.

The price seems a little steep, but what have anyone else done? Should I go with Amber or Red for my turn signals? Is Putco the best option or is there a better option?

Reply and let me know your thoughts.

I wanted to get one of these a couple years ago but everyone said (the earlier ones) didn't work once they hooked it up. This new updated one is really nice and looks like a real simple instal. The price is a little steep but I guess you're paying for the simplicity of the instal. Personally I like the red for the turn signals.

This looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing what you decide!

ouch ! $$$$$ ... but that do look sweet , and since no splice , the only one i would consider...

Way too steep. $100-$150. maybe, but $340. is way too much.

Yeah I like the no splice too. With my luck I'd splice into the wrong wiring and every light would be blinking.

agree , there was another thread where somebody had the "hyperblink" after some splicing i believe , it can be done properly , just not by me...

I have an electronics background, so splicing is something I can do, but I do not want to do it. I figure this makes it an easy project and not something that will take the entire weekend. Because you know after it is done, you have to drive around to test it (I mean show it off!). I am coming to the end of the upgrades/projects I want to do to my Ranger, so I want something that can be removed without having to fix where splices were.

My other project I am considering is the Hellwig add-a-leaf

That one will require buying more tools (Floor Jack and Jack stands), the wife may not be happy because good jacks and jack stands will not be cheap (at least the ones that I will buy).

Just use caution sharing the signal ground. Always best to ground to chassis.

just had a seizure.
you need to put warnings up

Close your eyes and see the girl from Ipanema...

Given the lack of clearance between the bottom of the tailgate and the license plate I'll be interested to see how anything squeezes in there. Looks pretty sweet though!

Let me know how this hellwig helps out. I check the links and they are in Visalia CA, I can probably stop when I visit my cousin up in that area.
